Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

105. The Real and Fake Crown Prince

Translator: Antonia

Du Chuxuan’s eyes widened and fixed on the person Ada brought over. He asked hurriedly in a tremulous voice, “Who are you?!” He wasn’t making a fuss, but the man had a face almost the same as Yuxing Tianrui’s. Not just the face, the expression and gesture and every detail were like a splitting image of Yuxing Tianrui. There was no difference at all.

The man gave a soft smile, “You can’t recognize me? Yue, you are such a fool.” The words made knife in Du Chuxuan’s sleeve silently slip into his hand, which was put in inch away from the person. A little effort, and the knife would be stabbed into the man’s body and take his life.

“My good tudi. I’ve something to tell you!” Just as the air was intensified, Jiu Dengdan’s voice cut into the room, and he landed at the door. The guards couldn’t stop him in time and left silently seeing Yuxing Tianrui’s gesture.

Upon entering the room, Jiu Dengdan was scared by the scene. Naturallly what came into his sight first was Du Chuxuan putting a knife on Yuxing Tianrui’s neck, and a thrill of pride surged to his heart, “You’re no wonder my tudi daring to murder the Crown Prince. But are you sure you weak boy is able to escape the palace?”

Du Chuxuan rolled his eyes at him, too lazy to waste breath with him, “Who are you? Why are you pretending to be His Highness?!” He had to say that he quite admired this man in front of him. The expression and attitude were so like Yuxing Tianrui that even Du Chuxuan, who had stayed with Yuxing Tianrui for so long couldn’t tell the difference. It was so terrifying.

“Yue, what’s wrong with you? That man behind you is the fake one!” There was not in the least a trace of panic in the man’s look. Instead, at this moment, he displayed the self-composure exactly the same with what Yuxing Tianrui showed when he was confident. Jiu Dengdan, surprised, looked away and saw another Yuxing Tianrui.

“What’s happening? This!” He pointed at the one under Du Chuxuan’s knife and took a look at the one sitting at the table, shaking his head, “It’s my eyes? Why are there two crown princes? The Monkey King appears again?” He subconsciously shrank and scrutinized them more closely.

Du Chuxuan automatically shielded Jiu Dengdan’s words and glanced at Ada, not knowing why Ada couldn’t tell the difference between the two. He said to the fake one in a languid tone, “Do you know what gave you away?” A gleam of light crossed his eyes and shone brighter.

Yuxing Tianrui sat where he was, as if what was happening had nothing to do with him, and continued to enjoy his breakfast, except that he was quite expectant to know how Du Chuxuan figured that man was the fake one. Therefore, he turned to Du Chuxuan, ready to listen what he was going to say.

The fake one didn’t think that the cat was already out of the bag and shook his head, “It’s okay that you make a mistake. If I didn’t know my own identity, I’m afraid I would also let the fake one have his way.” He said, totally unembarrassed. Even Jiu Dengdan began to trust him and turned to the sitting Yuxing Tianrui, ready to hear what he was going to say.

Du Chuxuan didn’t move a bit his eyes but further pressed the knife in his hand, “He never calls me Yue, because he knows I don’t like the name.” Of course he didn’t like being called that. He wasn’t Du Chuyue. Why should he like being called Yue? This was what had given the man away.

The fake Yuxing Tianrui stilled for a second, surprised that this was the flaw. In public, Yuxing Tianrui and Du Chuxuan had to attend to how they impressed others as a couple, so Yuxing Tianrui usually called Du Chuxuan Yue. In this way, others believed that it was only because the couple was deeply in love with each other.

Slap! Yuxing Tianrui put the chopsticks down and applauded Du Chuxuan, “You may leave.” On his order, Ada took the fake Yuxing Tianrui away. Both of them looked very calm and unabashed. Only then did Du Chuxuan realize that all was within Yuxing Tianrui’s plan.

Du Chuxuan rolled his eyes hard. For an instant, he had really believed that someone intended to hurt Yuxing Tianrui by making a fake one. He had been so nervous that his heart had reached the throat, but the man still had the mood to eat! At once, Du Chuxuan was a little angry, “Great means of Your Highness! But I’m wondering what you’ve prepared for me?”

If Yuxing Tianrui failed to notice Du Chuxuan’s anger, his head would have been a decoration. He gave a bitter smile and pulled him near, “That man has been cultivated for long for emergent occasions.” Of course in the first place, he hadn’t expected to apply to such an occasion.

As for Du Chuxuan’s substitute, he really didn’t have one. Cruel secret methods had been utilized to that guard since he was a child, when the bones were growing. The methods were able to change the development of one’s bones so that the person could turn out to be an entirely different person. It took a long process.

Du Chuxuan rolled his eyes again, but of course he wasn’t really angry. He was pretty curious about the man and foresaw that after Yuxing Tianrui and him left the palace, leaving the fake Yuxing Tianrui here, even the Emperor couldn’t find out any problems, “It’s good, but it’ll be better if you can find someone similar to me.”

In fact, the best way was to get Du Chuyue here, so that the real Du Chuxuan would be here as the Crown Princess, and that no one could find out. When he was contemplating on it, Yuxing Tianrui smiled, “Don’t worry about that. I’ve figured a solution already.”

The two were absorbed in their conversation and totally forgot that Jiu Dengdan was still standing here. Fed with a mouthful of dog food, Jiu Dengdan finally found his voice, “You two are surely in a great mood, but I really have something important to tell you.”

Du Chuxuan turned around and looked at him, with eyes screaming: Just say it! Jiu Dengdan was dejected and angry, “Ungrateful tudi! A satyr!” He mumbled a cluster of cursing before he calmed down, “I think you should already now the Wulin Assembly.”
